Oops, the male villain looked at me with affection in his eyes

Seeing the smile on His Highness the Crown Prince's face, Shen Lande knew that the matter had been solved perfectly. He held up his hands and said, "My brother will definitely discipline him more when he returns home. Don't let such trouble happen again."

The prince waved his hand lightly: "What do you think of the young prince of Anguo Gongning Mansion? Is there anything wrong with him?"

Shen Lande thought about what Ning Yu had done during the dinner, and said calmly: "He is just a young man from an aristocratic family who was spoiled by his family."

Shen Lanzhong simply recounted what happened last night when Fan Lou and Ning Yu hugged Chu Ye in the hall.

After hearing this, Shen Lande waved his hands and smiled: "It turns out that besides Lao Qi, there are such shameless people in this world who, as men, hugged the prime minister in the street."

His Royal Highness also laughed: "What's rare is that Prime Minister Chu didn't cut it into pieces."

Shen Lande thought about the way Ning Yu and Lao Qi drank together during the banquet, and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder he and Lao Qi drank the most during the banquet. It turns out they have met their soul mates."

The night is as dark as ink, and the hazy moonlight illuminates the earth.

From the rockery in the backyard of Taipu Mansion, a half-clothed woman stumbled out.

The woman gathered up the broken dress, hurriedly went to the servant's room in the west wing, picked up a piece of clothing hanging on the hanger, and put it on shakily.

Zong Guohui bit her trembling lips: At this time, my father may have already gone home. Knowing that her leakage has not returned, my mother does not know how anxious she is.

His father only has his own future in his eyes. A few years ago, he was planning to find a good husband for himself, so that he could give himself a boost while marrying his daughter.

But after the matchmakers were politely declined one by one by prestigious families in Beijing, my father gave up on him.

If it weren't for my young lady's beauty and ability, I'm afraid that in that philistine clan's mansion, I might not be as good as a respectable servant from a wealthy family.

She knew that her appearance was a bit lacking, but that was also because of her father who looked similar to her. Now his father actually didn't even care whether she had returned home or not?

Zong Guohui was exhausted physically and mentally, and tears rolled down one by one.

At this time, two boys came from the backyard. Zong Guohui was startled when he heard the sound, and hurriedly wiped away his tears and hid in the shadow next to the house.

Ding Er put down his tucked sleeves as he walked, and said to his companions: "That gale is really good at finding the right time. As soon as His Royal Highness the prince's front legs walked away, his back legs started to work. Thanks to Mr. Zong's presence, otherwise the gale would have killed someone today." Danger."

The companion yawned and said: "Yes, if it has three advantages and two disadvantages, none of us who are waiting on it will be able to escape."

Ding Er seemed to smile bitterly: "After two days of hard work, I finally gave birth safely. Lord Zong will be watching over you tonight, so you and I can save some effort. You go back to your room to sleep first, and I will go back after collecting my clothes." Asleep."

With that said, he walked towards the clothes rack where Zong Guohui was standing before.

Zong Guohui, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the slightly larger gray clothes on her body and bit her lip nervously.

The companion said in a low voice: "You said this is the same for Master Zong. The foal has landed safely, but he is still holding on to it. What's the use?"

Chong Er stopped and stretched: "The nobles have different ideas. They probably want to show their face in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. You don't care what they do. After working hard for two days, I can finally sleep well."

The companion pulled Ding Er and said: "Why are you collecting the clothes so late? It won't run away if you hang them there. Go back to bed early. It won't be too late to collect them tomorrow morning."

Ding Er yawned and turned his feet with the strength of his companion: "That's right, it won't be too late to close it tomorrow morning."

With that said, he and his companions entered the door.

Neither of them lit their lamps, but there were a few sounds, and not long after, the two men's slight snoring could be heard in the room.

Zong Guohui listened attentively without moving, and when he saw that the two of them were fast asleep, he walked out quietly, straightened his clothes, and hurried towards the side door of the mansion.

The side door is usually frequented by servant girls and boys. The doorkeeper was already dozing off. Hearing the hurried footsteps, he reluctantly opened his eyes.

Seeing the young man approaching in a hurry, the gatekeeper changed his posture and leaned back: "It's so late, what are you doing?"

Zong Guohui lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Master Zong will stay in the mansion today to take care of His Highness the Crown Prince's horse. I am following Master Zong's order to report a message to the mansion."

The gatekeeper was too sleepy to keep his eyes open, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go on your own."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

Zong Guohui walked out carefully and closed the side door quietly.

After passing through alleys, we finally arrived at the desolate alley in the west of the city. In the distance, Zong Guohui saw his dilapidated house.

The red paint on the gate is mottled. Looking past the low courtyard wall, you can see that the courtyard is overgrown with weeds. Because there is no money to hire people to take care of it, it looks a bit desolate.

Zong Pinghui was so proud of his dignity that he had very little salary except for treating his colleagues to drinks every month. As a result, the clan mansion was in ruins and he had no money to repair it.

Therefore, Zong Guohui, a low-ranking official and a concubine, did not even have a decent maid to accompany her when she went out.

Zong Guohui jumped over the low wall of her home with difficulty. When she saw that the lights in her mother's yard were turned off, she ran towards her yard with confidence.

I think my father has informed my mother that she will stay at the Imperial Palace today.

Trying to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes, Zong Guohui did not think about the reason why his mother turned off the light.

The government's expenses were insufficient and it could not afford extra maids to serve the concubine's daughter, so the young lady cried and begged her father to assign Grandma Wang, who was in charge of the handymen, to take care of her.

Grandma Wang is already very old. As long as she has nothing to do during the day, she will look for opportunities to sleep for a while, and she may be already asleep.

I will tell my mother tomorrow and say that I will be back early.

Seeing candles burning in her room, Zong Guohui knew that it was Grandma Wang waiting for her.

At this time, there was no movement in the house. Zong Guohui pushed open the half-open door and entered quietly.

The door made a harsh sound, but it could not wake up the old Granny Wang. At this time, she closed her eyes tightly, curled up her fat body, and slept soundly while leaning on the footrest.

Seeing this scene, Zong Guohui let out a long sigh.

After putting on clean inner clothes, Zong Guohui looked at the landscape jade pendant in his hand, sneered, rolled up the jade pendant and the boy Ding Er's clothes and hid them at the bottom of the cabinet.

A steward of the palace dares to dream of the daughter of a fifth-grade official. What a dream!

She looked at the light purple brocade handkerchief beside her and frowned.

She was humiliated today, and she was so happy because of Ning Huan. She knew that she could not go back, but she ignored him and didn't even look for him.

How hateful!

Sooner or later, Zong Guohui will make Ning Huan bow respectfully and obey her words!

She blew out the candle, skillfully stepped over the sleeping Nanny Wang, lay down on her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
